How To Format & Install Windows Xp learn xp installation

This post demonstrates how to install Windows XP Professional.The procedure to install Windows XP Home edition is very similar to the professional edition.some people don't know how to Formate and install Windows in system.

The best way install Windows XP is to do a clean install. It is not difficult to perform a clean installation. Before you perform the installation I recommend that you backup your important C:/ files in another drive or just Copy n Paste files from C:/ to another. My Document folder also stores in the part for C:/ so you can also save all files of My Document in another part like D:/,E:/..etc..

Lets get started

Restart your PC and do the following...

Go into the BIOS settings of your PC, usually by pressing the F1, F2, F10, or maybe the delete key, If you are not sure watch the screen at startup and it will say "To enter setup press..." You have to be quick and press it. If you miss it restart again.. you can see blue screen like this..



Once you are in the bios you have to change the boot options
In my system Boot change option is in "Advanced BIOS Features"..
Change the First Boot Device to "CD-ROM" You have to make your CD ROM the first boot option.Press F-10 for save settings..



Then Save to CMOS Exit Enter "Y" key for YES,press Enter Key



It will restart your system..

Put your Windows XP CD in the drive...When it says press any key to boot from cd, Press any key on the keyboard...If it doesn't ask you this then restart your computer again.

Press Enter.



To continue Setup in partition C,Press C.



now here you can formate C:/ in Quick mode or in normal mode.i recommend formate the partiton in normal mode.you can see the file formate is in NTFS or FAT 32.
In my system the file formate is NTFS...



To formate C:/ ,Press F.



Let it format, After the format has completed, It will copy windows files,



When that has completed it will say "computer will reboot in 15 seconds"...



Now your computer has rebooted it will carry on with the set up.

From the start menu select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Click on the System icon and then from the System Properties window select the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.
